The tag below your question indicates that you are using TurboTax Online. In TurboTax Online the only way to see the actual tax forms is to print (create a PDF). You have to pay the TurboTax fees before you can print.
If you use the desktop TurboTax software you can click the Forms icon at the top to switch to forms mode. Then you can see the forms and make entries directly on the forms. Forms mode is not available in TurboTax Online.
If you are using the Online version are you in the right account? How to view all your accounts

You might have to Click on Add a State to let you back into your return. Also it is too late to file an extension if you haven’t yet. Just file your return. You can efile until Oct 15.
You mentioned wanting to file an extension request--it is too late to do that. If you wanted to request an extension you had to do that by April 15, 2025; and any estimated tax due was supposed to be paid by April 15. If you did not request an extension by 4-15, your return is now just late. If you are getting a refund or do not owe, that will be all right. If you owe tax due, you are subject to late filing penalties and interest for which the IRS will bill you when they receive your return and your payment for the amount due as shown on line 37 of your Form 1040.
